for some reason you have to manually load libXext before libatiadlxx

Code:

thanks for this overclocking app, it's really great when it works for me. BUT, I am running into an issue lately. I run archlinux x86_64, all my software and drivers are quite current = catalyst 11.12(-1), amdstream 2.6(-1), linux kernel 3.1.9-2, etc, etc -- I keep getting this error that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resolve, so I thought I would try posting here and see if there's anything someone may be able to think of for fixing this lil' issue I seem to have... I get this error when running 'atitweak' ;;

I'm out of ideas here, anyone know what is up with that 'undefined symbol: XextAddDisplay' error? thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas/suggestions/pointers/tips!

UPDATE: adl3 v0.5

sudo easy_install --upgrade adl3

This release has two changes, both thanks to lueo:
- Windows fixes and general cleanup
- Powertune support (69xx only)

New feature added:

* Powertune level adjustment.

Usage:

-p POWERTUNE_LEVEL, --set-powertune=POWERTUNE_LEVEL
Sets powertune level (between -20% and 20%) for on the
selected adapters.

NOTE: Only support by 6xxx cards.

Thanks amazingrando! Please tell me if anything went wrong~~

So far it works fine, but then again I only have one rig to test it on. Thanks again!

Hello everyone,

I've patched the atitweak so that it can operate in Windows correctly.

In addition, I change the way it works so that atitweak will show correct devices. For example, it will show 4 cores on my 2*6990.

Test and patch are welcome!

Please check my fork version on http://bit.ly/trXI0U

I found a program in Github that can overlock ATI GPU as well. It works well for my 3 * 6970.

However, I don't know C++ much nor do I know python, can someone help to convert his code to atitweak?

Thanks lueo! I only have one Windows rig, but finally I can set the memory clocks nice and low and all the GPUs on that rig. Works well so far!

Thanks OP for the tool! This is part of the BAMT image and is a super awesome/easy way to configure the settings. I just recently started having a problem when setting the mem/core values on my 5970.

Code:

root@miner:~# atitweak -m 175 -e 850 -A 0
Setting performance level 0 on adapter 0: engine clock 850MHz, memory clock 175MHz
Setting performance level 1 on adapter 0: engine clock 850MHz, memory clock 175MHz
Setting performance level 2 on adapter 0: engine clock 850MHz, memory clock 175MHz
ADL_Overdrive5_ODPerformanceLevels_Set failed.

No matter what I set, it always returns the same failed code. Any ideas?

TIA

General question on this topic, is there a tool for overclocking ATI cards (Linux) that figures out the maximum GPU speed, the minimum Memory speed with the optimal voltage for my cards to mine with maximum hashrate? It's annoying to modify GPU, Memory and Voltage trying to find the best for my cards, because when I get a bit over the limit I have to reboot because the phoenix miner doesn't accept the reseted values after hanging up and curiously it also can't be killed (9).

Here is a solution for my problem with the SSH access:

Code:

ssh -X user@
password:
sudo su
chmod uog+rw /dev/ati/card*
xauth merge /home/user/.Xauthority
export DISPLAY=:0
aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

Thanks to drgr33n at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7374.1272 (post #1272)

The xauth merge ... may output an error, don't be irritated, continue Wink

You will need to set DISPLAY=:0 for --odsc I think. ?

Code:

# DISPLAY=:0 atitweak -l
No protocol specified
Couldn't initialize ADL interface.

# DISPLAY=:0 atitweak -s
No protocol specified
Couldn't initialize ADL interface.

# DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --lsa
No protocol specified

1. 07:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6990

* - Default adapter

# DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all
No protocol specified

Are you using the newest version of atitweak?

Yes, I'm using: easy_install adl3==0.3.

Quote from: gnar1ta$ on August 13, 2011, 12:56:33 PM

How about atitweak -s?

See above.

Quote from: amazingrando on August 14, 2011, 05:17:03 AM

When it says that X needs to be running, try running it as sudo. It should get over that problem

I am typing the commands into the shell as root, that should be the same.

Anyone with more ideas?

Do your aticonfig commands give errors?

aticonfig --lsa or aticonfig --odgc --adaper=all

I've see the ADL error before when adding cards. Try initial config then reboot
aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all

I get this by SSH:

Code:

# aticonfig --lsa
* 0. 08:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6990
1. 07:00.0 AMD Radeon HD 6990

* - Default adapter

Code:

# aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all
ERROR - X needs to be running to perform ATI Overdrive(TM) commands

And now? Thanks in advance for your help!

When I try atitweak over SSH I get this:

Code:

# atitweak -l
No protocol specified
Couldn't initialize ADL interface.

Running atitweak on the computer itself works. What can I do to control the cards from outside?

Try:

Code:

DISPLAY=:0 atitweak -l

Still the same Sad

Code:

# DISPLAY=:0 atitweak -l
No protocol specified
Couldn't initialize ADL interface.

Curious, the help page is displayed:

Code:

# atitweak -h
Usage: atitweak [options]

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-l, --list-adapters Lists all detected and supported display adapters.
-s, --status Shows current clock speeds, core voltage, utilization
and performance level.
-e ENGINE_CLOCK, --set-engine-clock=ENGINE_CLOCK
Sets engine clock speed (in MHz) for the selected
performance levels on the selected adapters.
-m MEMORY_CLOCK, --set-memory-clock=MEMORY_CLOCK
Sets memory clock speed (in MHz) for the selected
peformance levels on the selected adapters.
-v CORE_VOLTAGE, --set-core-voltage=CORE_VOLTAGE
Sets core voltage level (in VDC) for the selected
performance levels on the selected adapters.
-f FAN_SPEED, --set-fan-speed=FAN_SPEED
Sets the fan speed (in percent) for the selected
adapters.
-d, --set-fan-speed-default
Resets the fan speed to its default setting.
-A ADAPTERLIST, --adapter=ADAPTERLIST
Selects which adapters returned by --list-adapters
should be affected by other atitweak options.
ADAPTERLIST contains either a comma-seperated sequence
of the index numbers of the adapters to be affected or
else contains the keyword "all" to select all the
adapters. If --adapter is missing, all adapters will
be affected.
-P PERFORMANCELEVELLIST, --performance-level=PERFORMANCELEVELLIST
Selects which performance levels returned by --list-
adapters should be affected by other atitweak options.
PERFORMANCELEVELLIST contains either a comma-separated
sequence of the index numbers of the performance
levels to be affected or else contains the keyword
"all" to select all performance levels. If
--performance-level is missing, all performance levels
will be affected.
